Description This is the full version of my ID. Yes, that is me and I am so proud of this cause it actually looks like me. I also think that I would be the fire element if I were one. Also, it is my first successful attempt at drawing a cartoon dragon.

I sketched it with a pencil, then I inked the lines. I left the pencil there and just colored over it. I kinda liked the effect of that. Then, I used the pencil again to shade it. Brought it into PS to clean up a smudge and to give it a border.

Funny thing here. If you look at the fire, it spells out eko. That is the nickname I use so people don't have to say ekormekolindo all of the time.

Thanks. Trying to get better at it. >_< Thanks to Mrs. Ben-Amos, I have somewhat conquered my fear of using colored pencils. Long story.

Yeah, long story short, I use to use colored pencils but I messed up a lot of my good drawings and so I really lost confidence in myself in using colored pencils. -_-

The name thing with the fire is way cool. Also, an excellent job with the colored pencils.

Thank you very much. I have been practicing with pencils cause I wasn't all that good and in fact, I was pretty scared of coloring my drawings in fear that I would mess it up. >_<

Wow, that's awesome! Really beautiful colouring. The fire lettering is really clever, It flows so well I didn't notice it spelled out "eko" until you pointed it out. And yeah, you're rather good looking .. got a nice expression on your face, kinda looks peaceful and wise ^^ I suppose it's drawn in the Avatar style.. but it also reminds me a lot of studio ghibli's manga style which I really love.
And yes! Eastern dragons are way cool!! You've done such a great job with this.. I can't help but fav it
